If you want to get the best results from your D80 I strongly recommend that you buy this book, it has in-depth explanations of all the controls, settings and features available, and also clear explanations of the technical capabilities and limitations of the D80 too, with some development history to boot. There are also descriptions of add-on accessories to guide you on expanding your camera system with external flash units etc.
It goes WAY beyond the Nikon manual and I keep going back to it as a reference.
Included is a handy credit card sized fold out quick reference guide.
NB. I can forgive the publisher for the more than a few spelling and punctuation mistooks. ;)

I found this book extremely useful, not only in explaining, in depth, how to get the best out of the Nikon D80, but also in demystifying much of the terminology that surrounds digital photography and photography in general.

If I were thinking about buying the D80 reading this book first would help in the making of the decision as it explains where how the internal "guts" of the D80 work in comparison to other dSLRs.

If there is a downside to the book it is that as a photographic book, many of the photos of the camera showing controls could be a lot clearer. (Maybe they didn't use a D80 to take them!) Perhaps colour would be good, but then I suppose the price would be higher.

All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone with or contemplating the Nikon D80.

The Nikon Guide which comes with the D80 is nothing compared to the Magic Lantern Guide. The Magic Lantern illuminates the finer points and when reading the book with your camera alongside, you will learn more than you thought possible. I'm cerftainly very pleased that I bought it.
